It's weird because some people have to do so much work for those things, but mine came off in like 5 seconds.

i think most people think u can just twist them off when really u NEED the right 3# star bit and a drill which will snap the screw loose.

yes they are impossible to move if u try to get them out conventionally but if u just let tools be tools. they fly off..


the only way u would have to drill them is if someone before fucked them up badly.. cause i got one screw that's pretty twisted per se and it still has no problems.

a drill is your best friend for this task. that way u can just lean all ur weight on the drill and then let it do the twisting. this is is why it works and even using the right screw head bit in a socket with more leverage power still wont do the job

I am still on my original set of rotors and they aren't even warped, running NSX Calipers for 120k miles probably prevented them from warping. At 180k miles.

That's how I usually do it, and I also spray some WD40 or liquid wrench. Never fails. But yeah there's always that one time.....

Had to drill all of mine out. Really does not take long if you are prepared to do so ahead of time.

That being said, its not unusual to see them replaced at a dealer or service center.

1 rotor i had 1 screw come out easily. The other 3 either needed to be drilled or snapped off in the process. I havent had them in in over 500k miles
